== CharacterVisuals _merged.lsf.lsx ==
Here is where you're going to set up the default look for your race, aka how it looks when the player first selects them on the race menu. This can include hair, head, eyes, tattoos, makeup, and more.
 
Here are some nodes you'll find in the file, and what they do.<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<node id="Object">
    <attribute id="ForcePresetValues" type="bool" value="True" />
    <attribute id="GroupName" type="FixedString" value="02Skin Properties" />

== CharacterCreationAppearanceVisuals.lsx ==
Here is where you'll define all of the heads you want your race to use.<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<node id="CharacterCreationAppearanceVisual">
    <attribute id="BodyShape" type="uint8" value="0"/>
    <attribute id="BodyType" type="uint8" value="0"/>
    <attribute id="DefaultSkinColor" type="guid" value="fbfbdac7-b88b-840d-2601-e37aa45663ae"/>
    <attribute id="DisplayName" type="TranslatedString" handle="DISPLAYHANDLEHERE" version="3"/>
    <attribute id="RaceUUID" type="guid" value="RACEUUIDHERE"/>
    <attribute id="SlotName" type="FixedString" value="Head"/>
    <attribute id="UUID" type="guid" value="UNIQUEUUIDHERE"/>
    <attribute id="VisualResource" type="guid" value="VISUALRESOURCEUUIDHERE"/>
</node>
</syntaxhighlight>Here is an example node for adding one head. To find the correct Race UUID, see [https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Modding:Race_UUID this page].
